How tech leaders are prioritizing customer experience

The Tech Leaders' Tour is a series of events bringing tech leaders together to learn from each other about improving software quality and customer experience. This one was special because we are able to hold it in-person, in one of our favorite cities - Auckland, NZ, where there are no social distancing rules at the time of writing. In today's climate, technology companies are faced with many challenges. But one thing should remain the same - the focus on delivering value to the customer.

Things You Should Know Before Choosing Application Performance Monitoring Tools

Application Performance Monitoring tool has become the most emerging business to organizations to deal with complex applications. It helps in optimizing and monitoring the performance of your application. To ensure your app's performance, since it is of utmost importance for the better user-experience, the recommended approach would be to use APM tools. There are wide spectrum of application monitoring tools available in the market place.

The Symbiosis Between the OSI Model and Application Performance Monitoring (APM)

It’s no secret that Application Performance Monitoring (APM) is becoming a critical competency in today’s enterprise networks. After all, so many enterprises are moving to a cloud-based model that leverages tiers of service, which brings unforeseen complexity into the task of keeping things running smoothly.

Unify APM and RUM data for full-stack visibility

Without unified visibility across your entire stack, it can be difficult to investigate backend dependencies when troubleshooting frontend issues, or to track the source of database failures that originate from bad browser requests. Full-stack visibility gives you the insight you need to pinpoint and resolve incidents quickly.

Datadog on Serverless

The Datadog Security Platform team leverages Serverless to ingest security events across many different cloud providers, deployment platforms, and devices. These security events are then transformed and shipped to a data lake to help defend and protect the platform as a whole. Once there, these ingested events are used to drive internal investigations, create internal security alerts, and reason about security incidents.

Application Performance Management for Microservices with Sumo Logic

Distributed tracing allows you to track the execution of your user's transactions by following them between applications’ microservices. It provides easy to understand visualizations of transactional lifespan with the ability to pinpoint any slowdowns and errors in response to microservices. During my presentation at Illuminate, I shared that we extended the Sumo Logic platform to cover application performance use cases.

The top 13 APM tools in 2020

From increased uptime and improved user experiences to reduced risks and decreased expenses, application performance monitoring provides organizations with several business benefits that enable them to move faster than their competitors and deliver more value to their users. For this reason, it comes as no surprise that the market for application performance monitoring (APM) tools is expected to reach nearly $5 billion in 2020, an impressive uptick from the $2.72 billion the market hauled in during 2014.

Debug application issues with APM and Network Performance Monitoring

With the advanced containerization that has become the norm in the modern cloud, your infrastructure is likely more distributed, and thus more exposed to networking issues, than ever before. When troubleshooting application performance issues, this can make it difficult to link the symptoms you observe through monitoring the “golden signals” (requests, latency, and errors) on individual endpoints in your application to their underlying root causes.
